The collection designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior is ripe with equestrian glam. Riding style:  top hats, veils and checks and ruffles.

These have a slightly vintage lace curtain feel to them but hey, what do I know about high fashion, right? My previous post was about frilly pink princess bed sheets. :p

Jimmy Choo for H&M - High Fashion for High Street

Saw the huge posters of Jimmy Choo for H&M in when I was Shibuya, Japan. Didn’t have time to check it out then. Here’s what’s in store this Autumn:

Sexy color patent high heel shoes. Love the electric blue color. Disco!

S&M/biker/rock chic strap leather heels with studs…
Jimmy Choo for H&M -  black high heel leather strap shoes with studs

…and animal prints galore – like these zebra print heels and the weirdly beautiful snake skin-like boots studded with crystals.

Jimmy Choo for H & M - animal print shoes - zebra, leopard, cheetah and snakeskin heels and flats

Prices for shoes start from a very affordable US$59.95 for a pair of flat pumps and go up to US$299 for a pair of stretch leather over the knee boots. But what I’ve really fallen for are these two leather bags with zipper detailing:

Sidenote: This is the second post in a row with the title format *couture designer for mass market brand* (see Stella McCartney for Gap Kids and babyGap). Which fashion designer would you like to see designing for your favourite label?
